Dan

Garret

Garret, great ride last night thanks for organising. It was getting a little cool on top of Sally Gap to hang around so we pushed on.

Beautiful route and nice little Wall diversion: app.strava.com/rides/11809438#

Thanks to David & Gary for politely putting up with me going on about the scenery. I'm still relatively new here and loving the riding in Wicklow, rugged remote beauty so close to Dublin.

no probs Dan...great to have you and the 11 others along..think we were back around 10 mins after ya...beautiful eve and not a bad cycle for a tues eve...

Nice spin the other evening. Thankyou to Garret for going out of his way to organise spins like these particularly for any newcomers as there is a dearth of regular club spins until the Autumn.

@Dan, nice to meet you! Some new roads for me as well. Following David down into Enniskerry from the Devil's Elbow was interesting! Think I smacked every pothole :D Had to head on home as it was getting darker and my lights were only cheap auld yokes.
